Ryanair wants crackdown on drone flights near Dublin airport

Ryanair called for immediate action after illegal drone flying near Dublin airport caused disruption on three of four days over a long holiday weekend, affecting thousands of travelers. Flight operations at the airport were suspended for periods on Friday, Saturday, and Monday due to drones spotted on the airfield, forcing several flights to be suspended, delayed, and diverted to other airports on the island. It is illegal for the public to fly drones within 3.1 miles of Dublin airport, the Irish aviation hub said.
